Johno and Kaye toleave the club : Mon Jul 29, 2019 7:29 am  

Just come across this

QLT’s departure is expected to be the first of several as Grix begins the process of reshaping his squad after a disappointing Championship season.
No other exits have been confirmed, but young back rower Jordan Syme has joined Rochdale on loan, hooker Ben Kaye has been linked with Hunslet and half back Ben Johnston is reportedly interesting York


Ben kaye I agree with as I think we need another hooker with speed. Johno I would of kept

I think it is that time of year when players who haven't been officially announced as staying get linked with lots of other clubs.

I know that other clubs have been interested in BK.

When interviewed pre match by the BBC, Ben Kaye admitted his body is totally knackered so I wouldn't be surprised if he just simply retires.

At this stage of the season I think many rugby players would say the same

It does look like Grix is going about trying to fix the problem of us not scoring enough points.

Wise moves if so. Both 100+ games for the club and great servants both but time to move on. BK is a leader and solid defensively but given that hooker is arguably the most important position in the game; his distribution is too slow. Maybe look at young Davies with Moore next year?

Johnno hasn't really kicked on in my opinion. He has real speed and deception but I think he lacks the vision and the organisational skills needs for a top half.

I think muzza may retire to focus on the assistant coach role. So that will be a 6 and 7 required plus a 9 and looks like we have signed broughton from Catalans

Where have you seen about Broughton? Maybe Sharpy's time might be ending or he might be retiring?

Re: Johno and Kaye toleave the club : Tue Jul 30, 2019 9:11 am  

Broughton has been out injured all season at Catalans so would be a big gamble. As for the two Bens, there are reasons why we're going to finish in the bottom half of the 2nd division. It's time for big changes at the club. Up The Fax!

Kaye is staying for 2020.
